Wife for sale, 1 careful owner, low mileage for year, regularly serviced, looking a bit tired, a bit stiff in the mornings & difficult to get going but probably just needs the nipples greasing, there's also a blow in the exhaust, Free to collector. :naughty:

Dear Auntie HMVF,

 

I am just at the end of my tether. First my Saracen resolutely refused to start. Then my wife told me she was leaving and taking the kids, not only that she is making claims on my house and savings that will leave me destitute. I've ben so down that I've taken to drinking and my job is now in peril because I'm so seldom sober... Please help or I'm off to the canal.

 

Sad Sarrycan Owner.

 

Dear Sad Sarrycan Owner,

 

I'm so sorry to hear about all your troubles dearie, but these things happen, don't they?

Make yourself a good strong cup of tea, sit down and think about all the things you DO have, friends, health, freedom... Then you want to take a lump hammer and ping the starter motor one... Always dodgy on the B series... I take it the fuel lines are clear?, checked you plugs for fouling? what about the.....

 

 

And so on.

 

Auntie HMVF
